While the sheer scale of the undertaking is undeniably impressive, it feels less like a genuine artistic endeavor and more like a desperate attempt to dethrone a true literary giant like Marcel Proust. While exploring unconventional forms of writing can be valuable, this novel ultimately lacks the substance and artistic integrity that define genuine literature.
